Beschreibung | James Byron Dean (February 8, 1931 – September 30, 1955) was an American actor. He is remembered as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as expressed in the title of his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause (1955), in which he starred as troubled teenager Jim Stark. The other two roles that defined his stardom were loner Cal Trask in East of Eden (1955) and surly ranch hand Jett Rink in Giant (1956). |
If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.
Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have.
Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.
To me, acting is the most logical way for people's neuroses to manifest themselves, in this great need we all have to express ourselves.
There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning.
